I'm really interested, but I DD my car and not being able to find a e85 station at non accessible time would be bad(Midnight and etc...) or am I over anxious?

Just plan ahead and you're golden, or use the gf's car for late night drives

WA is the suck on E85. The mileage is poor though E85 does not have the same BTU's available as gasoline.

Yes

YEs

and sort of. Depending on the tune, you can setup lean cruise and manage to still get 22-23 on the highway out of E85. Probably 13-15 around town if you are in all the time...course thats my mileage of gas around town

As others have said, you just need to plan ahead I think its worth it. I've only run into a couple times when I haven't been able to take my car somewhere because of e85.

I dont think I'm gunna try to push the stock turbo any more its my understanding I'm just blowing hot air at this point. Maybe a FP red if it becomes available + the necessary fuel system upgrades.

I thought there was something that you can buy so you can switch back and forth between e85 and gas?
